Luigi Mangione Accepts $300K In Donations, Appreciates ‘Outpouring Of Support,’ Lawyer Says
HuffPost
The suspect in the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson will use the funds to fight his state and federal charges, his attorney said.
An online fundraiser for suspected UnitedHealthcare gunman Luigi Mangione said that his attorney will accept more than $300,000 in public donations collected toward his legal expenses.
The December 4 Legal Committee, which launched its volunteer-run fundraiser on GiveSendGo immediately following the December attack, announced Monday that his attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, will accept the funds on his behalf.
“Luigi is aware of the fund and very much appreciates the outpouring of support. My client plans on utilizing it to fight all three of the unprecedented cases against him,” Agnifilo said in a statement shared with HuffPost Tuesday. Agnifilo’s office also independently confirmed the announcement.
Mangione faces federal and state charges in Brian Thompson’s shooting death outside of a New York City hotel. Charges filed against him in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested on Dec. 9, have been shelved until the conclusion of his other two cases, the district attorney there has said.
Representatives with the committee said Mangione’s widespread support, with funds from more than 10,000 donors, underscores how many people have felt victimized by the healthcare industry.
